Breakfast is served with a large helping of our beautiful scenery in the extension at the front of the house. You have a choice of cereals and porridge. There are various fruits available (grapefruit segments, prunes etc.). For the main course you can have smoke salmon and scrambled eggs, or a full Scottish breakfast of bacon, sausages, haggis, black pudding, mushrooms, and tomatoes. You can have our own free range eggs done the way you like them, perhaps poached, boiled, scrambled with a little cheese, or just pan fried. If you prefer something cold there is cooked ham or cheese served with tomato.
